Thanks for the help in advance.

I just got my spinner last week.  I went out to local walmart and got spray bottle, microfiber towel, and some 220 wet/dry sandpaper.  Yesterday ordered 2 4000, 2 2000, 2 1000 and 2 500 albralon pads.  Then ordered myself a 32 oz bottle of beans secret sauce.  We will see how it works!

For anyone using a spinner I recommend getting a Taxi Contour Abrasion Block.  It's almost impossible to sand a flat spot on a ball if you use one.  They have the hook portion of hook and loop, so they hold Abralon pads and Scotch-Brite very well.  A link to one site where you can buy them is below.  --  JohnP

A Men to that John. I reccommend likewise.

I'll have to look into that.  It looks like a nifty tool.  

Also, I got a spinner not too long ago, I have 2 Sets of SB pads, and 2 sets of Abrolon Pads, and I don't have all that much in them (maybe $40-50 with shipping).

Thats 2 Burgondy (320 grit), 2 grey (800 grit) and green which you can get anywhere.  2 500 grit abrolon pads, 2 1000, 2 2000, 2 4000, and I got 2 360 as well.

After that I got 1 bottle of Power House Factory finish, and 1 bottle of L/LM Cleaner, and I'm set for a while for all I want to do.

Later,
